Ingredients
For the Crumble
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter chilled and diced
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Raspberry Filling
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy lifting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the chilled, diced butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, gently mix the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until the raspberries are well coated.
- Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to form a firm base. Evenly spread the raspberry mixture over this base, then sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top.
- Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberry filling is bubbly. Let it cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, lift out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used), and cut into bars. Delight in the rich raspberry flavor with the earthy texture of oats!

Notes
- If you're using frozen raspberries, there's no need to thaw them first, but consider adding a bit more cornstarch to the filling to account for extra moisture.
- These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. They're also freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
- Feel free to experiment with other berries like blueberries or blackberries for a different twist.
- For a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and use gluten-free oats.
- Add a handful of chopped nuts to the crumble mixture for an extra crunch if you like.
